Responsible Gaming
Gambling Should Be Entertainment, Not Income
At EthrApp, we believe that gambling should only be enjoyed as a form of entertainment, not as a way to earn money or solve financial problems. Online casinos are games of chance with a built-in house edge, which means that over time, the odds favor the casino. Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose, and always set strict limits before you start playing.
Responsible gaming is our commitment to you. We encourage all players to gamble within their means and to seek help if gambling becomes a problem.
Age Verification
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the legal gambling age in your province) to use EthrApp and participate in any gambling activities. We are committed to preventing underage gambling and comply with all applicable Canadian gaming regulations.
By accessing our website and creating an account, you confirm that you meet the legal age requirement and that you are not prohibited by law from gambling in your jurisdiction.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can develop gradually. If you recognize any of the following signs in yourself or someone you know, it may be time to seek help:
- Chasing losses: Trying to win back money you've lost by gambling more
- Hiding gambling activity: Being secretive about the time or money spent gambling
- Increased tolerance: Needing to gamble with larger amounts to feel the same excitement
- Failed attempts to control: Repeatedly trying and failing to limit or stop gambling
- Neglecting responsibilities: Missing work, school, or family obligations due to gambling
- Financial strain: Using borrowed money, credit cards, or savings to gamble
- Mood changes: Becoming irritable, anxious, or depressed when unable to gamble
- Escapism: Gambling to escape problems, stress, or negative emotions
- Relationship conflicts: Arguments with family or friends about gambling habits
- Continuing despite consequences: Gambling even after experiencing negative outcomes
If you experience any of these warning signs, please reach out for support immediately.
Self-Help Tools & Player Controls
EthrApp provides several tools to help you maintain control over your gambling:
Deposit Limits
Set a maximum amount you are willing to deposit within a specific timeframe (daily, weekly, or monthly). Once you reach this limit, you will not be able to deposit additional funds until the period resets.
Loss Limits
Define a maximum amount you are willing to lose over a set period. If your losses reach this limit, your account will be temporarily restricted to prevent further gambling.
Reality Checks
Enable pop-up reminders that inform you how long you have been playing and how much you have spent. These notifications help you stay aware of your gambling activity and encourage mindful play.
Self-Exclusion
If you feel that you need a break from gambling, you can request temporary self-exclusion from your account for a period of your choosing (minimum 24 hours). During this time, you will be unable to access your account or place any bets. For permanent self-exclusion, please contact our support team.
To access these tools, log in to your EthrApp account and visit the Responsible Gaming settings in your account dashboard.
